" I suppose the best place to begin would be at Jarred Ash'tar's birth; at that time, the humans, el'taree, and other creatures were in a time of peace." Tsuki stopped when Bastion said
" So they were not always the Dra'ghoul Bloodline?" Erikk said
Tsuki nodded and replied, "Yes, now as I was getting to."
Jarred knew that unknown darkness was, so Jarred used a powerful soul-binding seal to seal away the Elden Lord Dra'ghoul inside his right arm, giving him unimaginable powers that aided him in defeating Grandmaster Xenoventaries.
But soon after Jarred was on his death bed, and just before he died, I was told that everyone born under the Dra'ghoul name would bear The Mark of Dra'ghoul for there can only be one Dra'ghoul after their death there soul is absorbed into the Mark making it stronger." Tsuki paused for a moment
Emma replied, " ok, well, that does not explain how Arran is Draco Dra'ghoul." Tsuki sighed " Erikk will have an explosion; I was not there when it happened."
Erikk sighed " Fine, a few days before Draco died, he had me put a Blood Soul Transference Seal over the Mark of Dra'ghoul, so in short, once Draco died, Arran's soul was transferred; with Draco's technology making Arran, Draco Dra'ghoul."
Emma took in deep, slow breaths " So is Arran still himself, or is he Draco?" she said, resting herself from punching Erikk in the face.
Tsuki got in between them and said, " Emma, it is alright Arran is still himself; he just has Draco Dra'ghouls soul."
Bastion stood up and walked towards his horse " Alright, fine, But what does that mine?" Bastion said to Erikk, who shrugged his shoulders
Bastion growled and said, " Fine then were to know, going to Nevermore is pointless now?"
Tsuki replied, " No, Damion Vixen Grey is that way."
Erikk got onto his horse and said, " ok, then let's continue towards Nevermore." Tsuki and Emma got onto a horse while Bastion rode with Erikk
As the El'send'darin breed horse speed its way across the Haven, the Region that contained Haven Valley, the place Emma had called home for the past sixteen years.
" Are you ready, Emma? In mere moments we will be crossing the Dag'gar river that marks the edge of the Haven." Tsuki said to Emma, who was excited and scared at the same time, she had never been this far out from home.
Emma bit her lip as a tear ran down her cheek at the thought of her brother, who had also never been this far away from home. The sparkling blue waters of the Dag'gar river shone in the moonlight as the horse ran through the water. Emma could see the water glisten the starlight sky.
Once they crossed, Emma looked back. The Haven was but a blur as the horse stopped at the entrance of The Aokigahara
"Well, here we are. The Aokigahara or The Sea of Trees, a border that separates each region, created the hardening of the lava from Jarred's Dra'ghouls battle with Xenoventaris. Over the thousands of years, this massive forest grew to become the barrier between each region." Erikk said
Tsuki nodded " Yes, But it is too dangerous to go in at nightfall; the Aokigahara blocks out the sun, so it is always night there, making it the perfect home for creatures of darkness. so let us make camp here."
The preview night after Tsuki had left, Adam knew that his choice was clear; he had to leave to find this Draco'vera place and meet with this man who claims to be Draco Dra'ghoul. When in his heart Arran knew he was not, and this could be a trap.
Without turning around or going back to explain to his friends and his sister. " If I went back, I would not go, and I need to do this," Arran said softly as tears came down his face; regaining his composer, he wiped them away and walked towards the Dag'gar river in the pale moonlight of Tylingarieas second moon As'shar're the Defender.
after what seemed like hours, Arran reached the Dag'gar river and marveled at the shining waters that glowed in the moonlight sky
Arran took one last look at the Haven, the place he called home, The only place he knew. He then looked out towards the Aokigahara that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"No turning back now," Arran said as he stepped into the river; the mossy rocks below proved too much for him as he tripped and fell headfirst into the rushing river. Arran's felt an intense pain in his right foot just before his head collided with a passing log rending his cones
Truly a promising start for Arran's epic journey
